    Someone should tell her that bananas are a GMO. So is rice, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, and mustard. They all exist because humans modified them, if humans didn’t exist then neither would those plants.

    Ironically the one thing that isn’t a GMO is the damn egg.

      Well…

      Chickens have been gene modified by 1000’s of years of selective breeding. Those eggs, by extension, are therefore gene modified also. Otherwise you wouldn’t get more chickens like you want them.
